Bruce was not surprised by what was happening, as he had experienced something similar just a few days ago.It happened at the same place, also because Wyneth was drunk...Bruce closed his eyes and suddenly realized that his little sister had many admirers, but unfortunately... none were good enough for her."Who are you to her?" Luke asked."You're in no place to ask me that," Bruce responded sarcastically.None of those men had the right to question him about that.Luke frowned and decided to only deal with him after Shaun's arrival.Shaun was in the same city, so he made his way to the hotel very quickly. After he arrived and saw Luke's archenemy, Bruce, standing in the room, his gaze widened in shock.'Wh-What's going on?'Why is Bruce here?'However, it did not take Shaun very long to regain his senses.Considering Wyneth's connection with someone like Hayden, Bruce's presence did not come as a surprise to him...He walked forward. "What's happening?"Bruce finally re
"Hey, I'm asking you a question."Shaun asked again after not getting any response from Susan.Susan only recollected herself upon hearing that. Then, she moved her lips."About that...""What's wrong?" Shaun squinted. "Is it a secret? Do they have some kind of inappropriate relationship with each other?"Susan immediately retorted after being provoked by Shaun, "Stop your nonsense. They don't have any inappropriate relationship. Bruce and Wyneth are siblings. It's nothing like what you've described.""Siblings?" Shaun asked.He could not process what he just heard."What do you mean?"'Wyneth Walford and Bruce Spencer are siblings?'Walford and Spencer?'Shaun blinked his eyes. "You mean cousins, right?"Susan shook her head. "No, blood siblings.""Sibl..." Shaun was puzzled. "They have different last names. How could they be blood siblings?"Shaun had seen Wyneth's ID card before and he also knew that Bruce Spencer was Bruce's real name, not a stage name."I'm not too
Shaun could not help but shift his gaze to the room where Wyneth was as he swallowed nervously.'Who exactly is this person that I signed...?'Isn't she just a normal lady?'The situation was getting more chaotic by the minute. Shaun felt a headache coming on and massaged his temples.He decided to wait until Wyneth had sobered up before asking her about all that.*However, Wyneth had not woken up at all as the whole evening went on. Instead, a trending topic that skyrocketed to the top caught his attention.Title: Bruce Spencer X Luke Langdon X Wyneth WalfordThe netizens did not think much of it when they saw the two men's names as everyone knew that they were rivals, after all. However, they felt strange after seeing Wyneth's name.They initially thought that Bruce and Luke must have attended some event together and accidentally crossed paths, causing the trending topic. But it seemed like things were different from what they expected with the addition of Wyneth's name.S
After all, Luke had always been a cold and aloof person.He would not even bother taking care of his juniors if they were brought to him.No one would have expected him to do such a thing...The person from the management team of Shaun's company questioned him after not getting any response from him, "What exactly is going on? Tell me about everything and my team will try to come up with a solution."To be honest, Shaun was not too sure about the situation himself, so he could only tell the person on the phone about what he had heard from Luke earlier.However, he kept the real relationship between Bruce and Wyneth a secret.Wyneth was his artiste, so he believed it was best not to disclose any undisclosed information about her. He intended to talk to her about it first once she woke up.The person on the phone sneered after learning about the situation."Okay, I got it."Shaun suddenly had a bad feeling after hearing the cold laughter."What are you planning to do?""Mind y
"I wonder what his PR team is going to do about this."Gordon immediately stood up. "I'll go check it out.""Oh, by the way..." Bruce called him back as his gaze turned icy, "I need you to look something up for me."Gordon had never seen such a look on Bruce's face despite working with him for so many years. He was momentarily taken aback."What is it?"*About twenty minutes later, Luke's company made a public statement.Some netizens acted swiftly and summarized it as follows:[First, Luke and Wyneth are from the same company and they're simply colleagues.[Second, Luke only stepped forward to confront the other party because he felt like something was wrong with Wyneth.[Third, before entering the hotel room, they had already informed both parties' managers, who would arrive shortly after.]In conclusion, the company clarified that Luke and Wyneth were just colleagues, and he only intervened based on that relationship. As for what Bruce was trying to do with Wyneth, it re
The photo was uploaded at such a critical moment that it left everyone utterly shocked. Very soon, it topped the chart of trending searches.Emma, who was supposed to be filming on set, was given a break by the production team due to what was happening.She just took a shower and had been browsing the latest updates of the incident in her room.She was not expecting that Luke would be a part of it as well.Also, Emma could tell that Luke took Wyneth pretty seriously from the video. The fact that both outstanding men showed Wyneth special attention added to her jealousy.She scrolled through the comments and her assistant spoke in a slightly proud tone, "Emma, you can sit back and relax now. Bruce and she can only admit it after how things blew up."Emma glanced at her assistant upon hearing that."What makes you think that they're going to admit it? What if they didn't?"It seemed like the assistant had not thought about that as she stood there, stunned."After all, their infl
"Wyneth's standard is way higher than that.""Indeed, how could he shift the blame onto you when he has feelings for your sister? Although he doesn't know that you're Wyneth's brother, a man who would do such a thing is undependable!"Bruce cast a glance at him without saying anything."When are you going to publish a statement on Facebook? The company is very worried."However, Bruce asked a different question without answering him, "About what I told you last time, have you found out anything about it yet?""Um... I'm still on it. It's going to take some time." Gordon got a little puzzled after Bruce brought it up. "Why would you suspect her?""She has all the motives."Bruce took his phone out after saying that. "I'll post the statement now."Gordon quickly nodded."Yeah, that's a good idea. The investigation results can wait. Otherwise, your sister will drown in criticism if we were to only act after discovering the truth."That was also the reason why Bruce had decided t
Those seven words were everything he typed.The photo that he attached was taken when Wyneth celebrated her birthday.She was wearing a bright red dress with her long hair falling on her shoulders as she clasped her cheeks while leaning slightly toward Bruce.On the other hand, Bruce was dressed in a formal suit. He was resting his hand on Wyneth's shoulder, looking extremely doting.Anyone who saw that photo could tell that he was a protective brother.Bruce's fans could not get any response from his side after Luke's company shifted the blame onto him, causing a lot of people to speculate that Bruce and Wyneth were a couple.However, Bruce's fans were left dumbfounded after seeing his new post.They had been waiting after Luke's company posted the statement, but Bruce remained silent.So, somebody said: [He's probably guilty. The more he tries to avoid it, the more it proves that they're together.]Another netizen added: [Bruce's fans can stop expecting anything now. Your id
"I heard," Hayden sighed, thinking she might tell him not to touch her."What do you think?" Wyneth asked."Me?" A small smile formed on Hayden's lips as he gently kissed her. "It's whatever you want."Wyneth's eyes sparkled. "So, you'll listen to me?"Hayden hesitated. "Except...""What?" Wyneth's tone shifted to annoyance. "You aren't backing out, right? You just said it's up to me.""It's not that I'm backing out," Hayden said, "I just have one condition. I'll listen to you any other time, but there's one thing I can't do.""What thing?" Wyneth asked.Hayden leaned in and whispered in her ear. Wyneth's face turned a shade of pink, and she pushed him away, gasping."You're such a creep!" she exclaimed.Hayden took her wrist, drawing her close and kissed her earlobe. "What's the matter? Isn't this okay for us? Don't you think so?" As he kissed her, he began to unbutton her collar. His voice was low and smooth. "Just listen to me this one time. For everything else, whatever y
On the ride home from the hotel, tears rolled down Wyneth's cheeks nonstop. This time, though, she was not alone by the car window. She was nestled in Hayden's arms. He wiped away each tear, comforting her all the way."Don't cry. It's just a mix-up, okay? He said he's fine and will be around for a long time," Hayden whispered.Despite his soothing words, Wyneth's tears did not cease. Seeing this, Hayden, filled with concern, gently asked, "Is this not what you wanted?"Confused, Wyneth looked up. "What are you talking about? I'm beyond happy he's alive."Hayden smiled, gently wiping her eyes. "Then why are you still crying?""I'm crying because..." Wyneth bit her lower lip, with Hector's words echoing in her mind.She had always been upset, believing her father had not wanted her years ago. But just as she was about to leave, Cindy pulled her aside. "Wyneth," her mother said gently, "your dad did want you. When I divorced him, I had just one demand.""What was it?""I wanted o
Everyone was silent. Just before entering the private dining room, Wyneth blurted out, "Is he really dying?" Hearing this, Andrew's steps halted. Before he could answer, she added, "How long does he have? Why didn't anyone say anything before?"Andrew sighed and turned around. "Is that why you're here?" Wyneth pursed her lips. A wave of uncertainty washed over Andrew. 'This mom and daughter,' he thought, 'they're here because they got it all wrong. Mom is acting differently toward Dad, too. She was all tough before, but now she's gone soft, probably thinks Dad is dying. And Dad? He's just laughing, like he's having a good time with all this mess.' Andrew hesitated, then said, "Let's talk inside." He chose to hold his words for now.Hayden and Wyneth walked into the private dining room. Cindy was passing dishes to Hector. As they entered, every pair of eyes turned their way. A divorced couple and six sons stared at Hayden. Used to the predictable world of leadership, Hayden now ventur
In the end, Wyneth decided to stay. She could see the honesty in Matilda's words and knew she was sincere. Recognizing Matilda as not her birth mother made Wyneth realize she should not hold her to the same expectations. With acceptance, she focused on building her future with Hayden, freeing herself from doubts and reservations.With Wyneth's decision to stay, Matilda's heart swelled with joy and immense honor. Realizing Wyneth's sincere intentions, not merely chasing the Hamilton family's wealth, transformed their relationship. Matilda's newfound warmth toward her was evident. Gifts, once withheld, now freely flowed into Wyneth's room. At auctions, Matilda eagerly bid on items for Wyneth. During jewelry store visits, Matilda generously bought her gifts, swiping her credit card without hesitation, and welcoming her nearly as a daughter.Wyneth received a call from her mother. Even after so many years, her mom, Cindy, was still bossy. "Your father isn't doing well. You should come to
Just at that moment, a knock sounded from outside."Sir, your mother is back," someone said.Hayden could feel the person in his arms stiffen, her body tensed. "Don't worry, I'm right here," he reassured her softly."Your mother heard that Ms. Walford is here. She wants to see her," the voice from outside continued.'Meet me?' Wyneth bit her lower lip lightly. 'Why does she want to see me? To insult me again?'"She hasn't eaten yet. She can meet her after eating," Hayden said, gently turning down the request for Wyneth. Outside, everything fell silent."Won't this offend your mom?" Wyneth's voice filled with concern as she asked.Hayden looked at Wyneth, pausing for a moment before speaking. "I know she's been mean to you," he said. Wyneth's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm sorry." He bent down and lightly kissed her forehead. "You've been treated unfairly." Seeing her blink, he added, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll go with you."Wyneth was a bit nervous, but not as anxious a
Hector was speechless as Cindy mistakenly thought he was ill. Seeing her worried face, he felt the misunderstanding might not be so terrible. He shared a look with Andrew. His eldest son caught on immediately, giving a subtle head shake. Understanding the signal not to mislead Cindy any further, Hector hesitated before gently asking, "Can I see her? Even just a glance?" It had been many years since he last saw his daughter up close, and she had not called him "Dad" in all that time.Cindy, lost in thought, stared at Hector before finally nodding as if admitting defeat. "Fine, I'll call her."Later, Wyneth fell asleep. Upon waking, she found herself on the large bed in Hayden's bedroom. She saw Hayden sitting at the sofa, busy with a computer.Hearing her movement, Hayden immediately got up and walked toward her. "Awake? Thirsty or hungry? Want something to eat first?"Having slept through lunch, Wyneth was hungry, so she nodded. "Sure."After Hayden left to give some instructions,
'He shifts moods so fast,' Wyneth thought as she stared at her unattended ringing phone.Observing her delay, Hayden asked, "What's going on?"In his mind, a thought flickered, 'She seems reluctant to take the call. Perhaps there's tension with her eldest brother?'"He's calling now; must be about him," Wyneth whispered."About your dad?"They had decided to be together, and Wyneth did not hide anything from him. "Yeah, my dad."Hayden did not utter a single word."I don't like him," Wyneth softly said, staring at her ringing phone. "Answer it for me and say I'm asleep," she whispered to Hayden as she cozied up to him. Without a word, Hayden picked up the phone and conveyed the message before ending the call.After ending the call, a curious Hector asked, "Well? Where is she?"Understanding the situation, Andrew said, "She didn't answer the phone; she's asleep."Despite hearing the words, Hector felt something was off. He sighed, "She really doesn't like me.""Don't worry, D
"Trouble recognizing faces? What do you mean?" Hector Spencer asked.Andrew sighed. "Dad, he's Wyneth's ex-husband."Hector's eyes widened in surprise. "He is? No wonder I didn't recognize him. I must've barely seen him before.""Is that what's bothering you?" Andrew asked."What else would it be?" Hector replied, still taken aback.Andrew sighed. His dad, Hector, was good at many things and never stayed mad at people. But there was one funny thing about him: he could never remember faces of people outside their family. "You don't mind?" Andrew asked.Smiling, Hector replied, "Mind what? She's told everyone, so she must be ready. I've never been the dad she favored. If I object now, won't she dislike me even more?"Andrew was left speechless by this. He had not expected Hector to have no objections. "Seems like someone doesn't need your approval."Changing the topic, Hector asked, "What about your mom? Is she back?" He had been living alone for many years.Andrew exhaled. "I t
Everyone rushed to check out Wyneth's Facebook and, sure enough, they saw her admitting to the relationship, along with a freshly taken selfie.At first, Wyneth only wanted to write a post. But after Hayden tasted the joy of going public with their relationship, he suggested taking a wefie for the official announcement. Feeling his excitement, Wyneth agreed. They posted the wefie on Facebook, captioned "Officially Together". Yet, Hayden was not done. He captured another photo, this time holding her hand, eager to share their love with the world.Since Hayden was not a celebrity or idol, he had no fan feelings to fret over. Eager to declare his love, he did not hold back. His photo captured his sharp features and dark, gem-like eyes that shone under the camera lights. The image showcased his palm holding Wyneth's fair, slender hand. Their contrasting hands highlighted his affection, radiating warmly from the photo.After the photo came out, everyone was shocked. This included fans, p
